Guestbook

Does anyone know of anywhere that does lovely guestbooks? At first I wanted one to go in with our colour theme (cadbury purple) now I'm not so bothered, just something ivory and silver would be absolutely fine. But I'm struggling to find one that we love, and with enough pages. Oops that makes it sound like we're having a massive amount of people... 83 for the day and about an extra 30ish in the evening so 120 in total. I just would absolutely hate to run out of room! So guess it needs about 50 pages.

I've found a couple of pretty ones on Amazon. Also, strangely, The Range seem to have wedding stuff in at the moment (or have they always had it and I'm only just noticing now as I'm getting married?!) and they had a really nice ivory guestbook.

I did hear form my friend that the range had started doing wedding bits but not managed to go up there yet! The Amazon one is lovely, thanks!

Hi,

Never though of looking on Amazon, will have to have a look. We have the opposite problem in that we only have 15 guests at our wedding so will only fill 15 pages. Two pages per couple as I want a photo of each couple on one page & then they write next to it. I know we can get some friend & family who don't come to write in it later for us but all the ones i've seen have been 60 odd pages & then we will look like Billy No Mates:o

I used this seller on ebay for our guestbook. http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/rjkcraftycreations/&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754

She got it out to us pretty quickly and it was lovely quality.

Hope that helps.

We didn't have a book, but we used little note books on the tables with the numbers on. I wrote a little note to each table asking them to write in them, draw a picture, put their favourite quote etc. They are fantastic and really make me smile when I look at them. The whole thing cost £3 per set of 3 books, so £6 in total!

I have been to lots of weddings where the book just doesn't get filled in as people forget, so don't worry too much about having lots of space.

We got ours as part of the prize but it is stunning, its this one:

Its so cute and the hearts dangle freely It had 48 pages so just under how many you want but like Megan said, some people will forget/not do it anyway.

I had a little sketch book with plain pages which I then decorated to match our theme with ribbon and butterflies. It was small enough so that people could fill a page easily (I think it's A6 size) and I made sure there were enough pages for one per person.

But... there are LOADS of empty pages still. It's unlikely that everyone will write in it. For example, my Uncle wrote in it for him, his wife and his 2 kids, my Auntie wrote for her, her husband and their teenage son... I have lots of spare pages!

I did make one of my ushers go round the tables with the guest book, but I think he got bored after about 3 tables out of 8!!!

I'm just trying to decide whether to pull out the spare pages (it's spiral bound so you wouldn't know!) or leave them in.

I guess it depends if you're worried about lots of space leftover at the end.

Thanks everyone. The one you had Mrs Shaw to be is lovely! What is it like inside? Does it actually have a bit for where the guests write what they gave us? We have asked for money so would be a bit repetitive!
